TMZ published that Puff Daddy made the move in lieu of a potential nine-figure offer for Bad Boy's publishing. The exact terms of the deal were not provider, nor was the potential buyer. Artists including Dr. Dre, Timbaland, Lil Wayne, Future, Chuck D, and others have sold at least portions of their catalog. TMZ's sources suggest that Biggie Smalls' estate, 112, The LOX, 112, Faith Evans, and others are among recipients of their publishing. Diddy is reportedly also making considerations for some of Bad Boy's famed writers and producers. News first hit after Cam'ron referenced Ma$e receiving his publishing in an Instagram post that also promoted an upcoming music compilation release.
